found it impossible to come on 
Thursday afternoons. 

Mrs. Crecilius presented an un- 
usually interesting and varied pro- 
gram of original and collected 
poetry. Explaining that her recent 
illness had robbed her of the vital- 
ity necessary to piano playing, she 
stated that she would be glad to 
come some other time when she 
would be able to play the piano. In 
an entertaining manner, Mrs. Cre- 
cilius added to her brief perform- 
ance by describing the conditions 
under which the. poems were writ- 
ten, and telling h&w^she felt as 
she had read or written them. 



By Anne Moore 

Reverend and Mrs. Nagel, famous evangelists, are scheduled to 
put on a concert at Pacific college auditorium soon. 

Reverend Nagel has spent most of his life in foreign lands, both 
as a missionary and as an archeologist. He lived two and one-half years 
with the shepherds in the Holy Land, dressing and eating with them. 
He can quote many interesting antedotes on his shepherd experiences, 
and also about his other travels. At the students' request, he will ex- 
hibit some of his priceless collections obtained in his archeological pur- 
suits. 

Last year he gave a talk at the Friends church on the ritual of an 

oriental engagement, including also 1 . 

some of the customs and traditions 
of the Orientals. 



Mrs. Revetta S. Crecilius, who is 
a local music instructor and well- 
known for his brilliant piano per- 
formances, will accompany Mrs. 
Nagel. The pair have been asso- 
ciated in concert work during the 
past year and have gone on several 
tours together. 

At the present time, Rev. and 
Mrs. Nagel are residing in Port- 
land, although his work as an evan- 
gelist does not often find him 
home. Mr. Nagel is a contributing 
editor to the religious magazine, 
"United Evangelical Action". 

Edna Mae Nagel, an attractive 
blonde dramatic soprano, will give 
a program of religious and classi- 
cal music. Mrs. Nagel has been 
singing in evangelical programs 
with her brother since she was 
eight years old. She is now study- 
ing music in Portland. Last year 
she starred in a movie, "The Miss- 
ing Christians". 

Last spring the seniors sponsor- 
ed a concert with Mrs. Nagel and 
Revetta S. Crecilius. One of the 
programs from the event is posted 
on the bulletin board. If there are 
any numbers listed on the program 
you would especially like to hear, 
check beside them. If you have a 
request not listed, write it down 
in the space provided and Mrs. 
Nagel will arrange her program 
accordingly. 

The date for the chapel program 
was scheduled for March 31, how- 
ever, as Rev. Nagel is extremely 
busy at this time, the date has 
been postponed. An announcement 
is forthcoming concerning the ex- 
act time of the program.

Choir Purchases 
Bus For Journey 

Purchasing of a $1,600 bus from 
Friends at Sherwood has solved 
the transportation problems of the 
choir and plans are being complet- 
ed for the 16-day tour to southern 
California during the spring holi- 
days. Under contemplation is the 
buying of a 1946 station wagon for 
the transportation of the remain- 
der of the choir; the choir con- 
sisting of about thirty-five mem- 
bers and the bus capacity only that 
of twenty-five. 

The bus was formerly an Ore- 
gon Motor company vehicle, and is 
a two-toned green and white. It is 
a Chevrolet and has a capacity of 
twenty-nine passengers ( with the 
jump seats down). 

The girls of the choir have been 
at work sewing the ripped seats 
and refinishing the interior. A 
complete overhauling of the motor 
has assured the bus' good running 
order. 

Before their trip begins, the 
group has a performance slated for 
Portland tomorrow night, a con- 
cert at a Portland Youth for Christ 
group Saturday night, and will 
sing with the regular chorus in the 
presentation of the Lenten ora- 
torio, "The Holy City," Sunday 
evening here in Newberg. 

Director Roy Clark stated that 
the group is in the finishing pro- 
cess and expect a successful con- 
cert tour. Next issue of the Cres- 
cent will contain the itinery. 



PACIFIC MUSICIAN LANDS 
SPOT ON KALE PROGRAM 

"I was scared, but it was lots 
of fun," stated Ray Baines when 
asked how his performance for 
the radio show in which he appear- 
ed Thursday came out. 

Ray's name and the information 
that he could sing was sent into 
radio station KALE in Portland by 
a friend, and he was called in for 
two auditions. Having passed both 
of these tryouts, Ray will sing over 
the air sometime during the last 
two weeks of April. He sings bass 
in the A Capella choir. 

Modestly admitting that the 
studio did suggest a contract, Ray 
said, "I don't think that's possible". 



A Typical P.C. Student 

( Every 6th Week) 






Simple Rules for Keeping Happy . . 

Don't ke:p looking in the past, 
lest you becon.e despondent. 

Don't keep loking at the present, 
lest life becomes monotonous. 

D»n't keep looking toward the fu- 
ture, 

lest you become fearful. 
Just- KEEP LOOKING UP! 



NOTICE: Read At Your Own Risk 



Oh, tha price of popularity! The 
many obligations a pin-up boy has 
to his public — autographs, intro- 
ductions, beautiful girls proposing 
all the time! Goodness! It's almost 
more than a golden-tonsiled beauti- 
ful hunk of man can endure. No 
kiddin'! Poor Verne (glamour- 
manner) Brightup lays 'em in the 
aisles. Rumors have it that he was 
lucky to get away from all of those 
bee-utiful girls with his life after 
the Portland Y. P. C. meeting 
when the choir sang. ATTEN- 
TION PLEASE!! We interrupt this 
program to bring you a special bul- 
letin: Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, 
and Lauritz Melchior have just 
committed suicide!!! 

Brightup — aren't you ashamed? 

We wish to retract that state- 
ment about Harlow (Innocence) 
Ankeny hating women — he made 
prevaricators out of us! He was 
seen standing within three feet of 
Eleanor Burton on the eve of the 
quartette trip to Dallas. Their dia- 
logue may have went along these 
lines: 

Eleanor: "Nobody loves me— -and 
my hands are cold." (Sniffs n' 



Dining hall don'ts 
. . . . (and do's too) 

1 — When reaching for bread, 
keep one foot on the floor. 

2 — Put cream and sugar in 
coffee before pouring in saucer. 

3 — Never throw biscuits with 
butter on them. 

4 — When eating with knife, 
keep edge turned away from 
your neighbor. 

5 — Never wear a long tie. It 
might get in the gravy. 

6 — When cutting steaks, keep 
elbows out of neighbor's ribs. 
Stand up if necessary. 

7 — Do not blow on your soup, 
fan it with your hat. 

8 — When asking for butter, 
do not refer to it as lard. Salve 
is the word. 

9 — Give the kitchen crew a 
break and wipe plates clean 
with a slice of bread. If you 
really want to be kind to the 
dishwashers though, leave them 
your gum on the plate. 

10 — When through eating, sit 
and stare at the gentleman at 
the end of the table who is 
drinking his second cup of cof- 
fee.

pouts prettily.) 

Helpful Harlow: "Oh, God loves 
— and you can sit on your hands." 
WHAT A GUY! 

Well, the tests are over and 
books are put away for another six 
weeks. Once again the peaceful 
snores of the alert students form 
a lovely background for the lec- 
tures of our patient profs. Never 
condemn a P. C. prof for talking to 
himself — we're the ones who drive 
them to it. Rollo Upton commit- 
ted the unpardonable sin — he slept 
so loud in Economics that he woke 
up the rest of the class!! (As pun- 
ishment, he should receive fifty 
lashes with a wet noodle.) 

When asked if he knocked 'em 
cold in the Business Law test, 
Glenn Moor quipped, "Yeh, zero!" 
— get it? — knocked 'em cold — 
zero! Oh, nuts!! 

I for one sure hope the L'Ami 
gets hold of some of the pictures 
I've seen lately — such as those of 
Marion and Ruth, and Jeanie and 
her "Birdie", an; Wayne and 
Eleanor. 

Gertie was overheard giving 
Connie a rough time — (but he lov- 
ed it!) Gertie snuggles a little clos- 
er an' says, "Do you know that 
married men live longer than 
single ones?" Connie got it, but 
quick, "You are mistaken kid, it 
only seems longer!" 

OH, mother! How things have 
changed since you were a girl. 
Some of the gals are like big sis- 
ters while others — art! art! Any- 
way, one of the fellows was getting 
a last minute briefing from a "big 
sis" before dating a certain co-ed 
for the first time. He asked, 
"Would it be improper for me to 
kiss her hand," Big sis (well edu- 
cated), "It would be decidedly out 
of place!" 

Prof. Berriman lets go with a 
good joke at the beginning of the 
Oregon History class, then class 
proceeds as usual — but five min- 
utes before the bell to dismiss, 
Norval gets the joke and lets 
gurgle a giggle. I wanna dedicate 
that "zero" pun to Norv — also, 
here's one for him to work on till 
next publication. 

He: "What charming eyes you 
have!" 

She: "I'm glad you like them. 
Tl^ey are a birthday present." 
G'bye till next time. 
P. S.— Hi, Mouse!!! 



Wallace: "Would you marry an 
idiot for his money?" 

Baldwin: "OH! This is so sud- 
den!!!"

How To Land, But- 
No Telling Where 

Du.ing the war, when the boy 
next door became a flying officer, 
many of the home-folks "always 
knew he had it in him," but then 
there are always a few present 
who represent a disturbing ele- 
ment. They insist that the kid next 
door was "just another dumb kid 
and anyone could fly an airplane 
that can drive a car." Sure, the 
same difference! 

Whaddah YOU think ? After all, 
those guys weren't handling a lot 
of these Maytag Messerschmitts 
you hear buzzing all the time like 
an over grown house-fly these 
days. Nope! Those bombers, for 
instance, weighed up around 148,- 
000 pounds. (Does your old 
Chev or Ford come up to that?) 
And there are just a few things to 
do when coming in for a landing. 
For example — let's try it!!! It's 
quite simple — 

First, we'll acquire a nice sur- 
plus B-26 or B-29 — nothing less 
than the real thing — drag it into 
the blue, then we land (we hope!!) 




Coming in on the 45 degree entry 
leg you check with the aerial engi- 
neer to be sure the antenna is up. 
As you turn on your upwind leg 
you pull your throttles back to 
'bout 25 inches Mercury as the 
traffic pattern is flown at 170 m. 
p.h. (preferred) . On the downwind 
leg turn the boosters on, change 
mixtures to auto-rich, check fuel 
gauges, props up to 2,300 R. P. M, 
recheck manifold pressure, pull 
back throttles until you have 160 
m.p.h. to turn on base leg. As you 
turn on base leg, call to field and 
gt permission to land. Half way on 
base leg drop gear (landing) and 
ret rim ship. Then start turn on 
the approach losing 1,000 feet in 
the turn, drop flaps when you see 
fit and use throttles and trim tabs 
until you "flare out" for a landing. 
Soon as you're landed, props all 
the way forward, lock on down- 
geir position, boster pumps off, 
cowl flaps open, oil cooler shutters 
open, and, as you turn off runway, 
flaps up. 

Pimple, isn't it? Now all yon 
have to do is this: 

1 — Buy, borrow, or steal a bomb- 
er. 

2 — Push it off the ground. 

3 — Land on the above instruct- 
ions. 

4 — Send in (with this article) an 
empty piano box in a stamped en- 
voi ipe and a statement to the ef- 
fect that you have successfully 
landed by the given instructions, 
and, the editor will cheerfully send 
you your pilot's license and a com- 
mission of colonel in the air forces. 
(All under 21 years of age will be 
commissioner full general.) 

— By One Who Knows 



Circle it on your calendar — it's 
a red letter day — March 14th! Yep, 
it's the day the infamous E. B.'s 
made their debut. The little 
Eager Beavers escorted five rath- 
er skeptical boys to church Friday 
night for th2 initial ope .ing of the 
nc^v o ganization. This new organ- 
iza' ion, the Eager Beavers, was 
fo .nd-d by the gals of Kanyon hall 
and when accused of copying the 
C. B.'s, one little E. B. replied, 
"Oh, no, we're different — we take 
out boys!" 

So the night of March 14th found 
five boys with a girl on each side 
being escorted to church. Natural- 
ly everyone at said church cast 
amused glances their direction but 
the daring little E. B.'s and their 
"dates" casually sat down and with 
only a few giggles found the place 
in the hymnal — the girls holding 
the book!! After the service the 
group congregated at Thornburg's 
for waffles and milk and a general 
good time. Stacks of waffles were 
consumed and milk by the quart 
before everyone reached their ca- 
pacity. Then to wash the dishes 
and walk home! Oh, sweet misery! 
Proudly the E. B.'s took their dates 
to the door of Hoover hall and told 
them good-night and thanks for 
being such swell sports! Thus the 
E. B.'s made their debut! 

Oh, yes, in case you're curious 
as to the rules and purpose of this 
new club; two girls take one boy 
out. This must be done twice — dif- 
ferent man each time. Then two 
boys and two girls double-date — 
twice — different man each time. 
Then the gal is officailly a member 
of the Eager Beavers. Only one spe- 
cification when choosing men — he 
cannot be someone the girl has had 
a date with within the last month. 
And as to the purpose, there really 
isn't one, unless it's to get some of 
the more bashful fellows into cir- 
culation and show them we gals of 
P. C. are okay. 

You'll see them around — you 
may even be one to have the great 
honor of having a date with an 
E. B. You'll be sorry if you refuse 
— no girl may ask you for a date 
again! Aha! 



Ideal Fresh (Man) 

Going to classes each day and 
strolling over the campus, you're 
bound to meet lots of the good- 
looking men of P. C, but the other 
day I paused in amazement — for 
there before me stood the most 
beautiful man! "Why haven't I met 
him before?", I asked myself, and 
when I looked again I saw that I 
did know him, for ha had Verne 
Brightup's eyes. Chuck Stewart's 
dark hair, Homer Hadley's ever 
ready smile, Art Cole's physique, 
Bob Armstrong's height, the per- 
sonality of Jack Martin, Ray 
Balne's voice, Johnny Sommon's 
sense of humor, and Harlow An- 
keny's intelligence. Why, of 
course, I knew him — he's my ideal 
freshman boy! 



PRAYER TIME 
i The while she darns her 
children's socks, 
She prays for little 
stumbling feet; 
Each folded pair wjvhm 
its box 
Fits faith's bright 
sandals, sure and 
fleet. 

While washing out, 
with mother pains, 
Small dusty suits and | 
frocks and slips, 
She prays that Godl 
may clease the | 
stains 
From little hearts I 
and hands and hps. 

And when she breaks 
the fragrant bread, 
Or pours each por-! 
tion in its cup, 
For grace to keep their, 
spirts fed, 
Her mother-heart is] 
lifted up. 

O busy ones, whose 
souls grow fafait, 
Whose tasks seem 
longer than the 
day, 

It doesn't take a cloist- 
ered saint 
To find a little time 

to pray!

WHY? 



Why, when I don't know the 

answers 
And so many faces to see, 
Do my teachers first of all ques- 
tion 

Scared little unprepared me? 

And why, when I know all the 

answers 
Word for word from the book, 
Do my teachers question all the 

others 

And not even give a me a look? 



Speaking of Vocations . • • 

By Donna Heacock, Editor 
President International Relations Club 

Scan your eyes over the world's horizon. You see people standing 
in bread lines; people fighting over a scrap of garbage; people huddled 
behind the darkened rail of a forbidden ship. You see a once proud 
empire crumbling; you see men with briefcases and documents arguing 
across a conference table. In such a situation can you ignore the warn- 
ing of Marley's ghost, "Mahknd is my business"? 

This, world is a festering sore. Why open its wounds again ? For 
only one reason — here is a cure! 

Look beyond the political situation to its cause. Be honest with 
yourself ... is the problem actually political ... or is it religious? "If 
God exisits at all, it is obvious that He is the most important of all 
existing things".* Do our world's diplomats consider God as the most 
important thing and mould this post-war world as though there is a 
purpose in life for each individual as well as a design in the universe? 
When hundreds starve on the same day that tons of oranges are dump- 
ed in order to keep the market price high can we say that justice and 
freedom are mankind's guiding principles? Let's not kid ourselves! 

Modern man's problems are religious! Men starve because they are 
considered as worth less than money. Men fight over natural re- 
sources because such financial return is valued higher than nature's 
well-being. This philosophy is not surprising for with God, the unifying 
force, removed, what dignity can life contain? 

In a recent book** edited by Dr. Stewart Long appears a number of 
letters from prominent Americans in answer to this question: "What 
think ye of Christ"?" As one reads the testimonies of these select few 
national legislators he is convinced that the world desperately needs — 
even from our Christian nation — a definite statement of the divine plan 
which values even one soul as worth more than the wealth of the entire 
world. Pastors and laymembers may proclaim that message until 
doomsday but it will not invade the secret conference rooms where it is 
needed! That message most be delivered through the diplomats them- 
selves! Have you ever thought of entering diplomatic service? 

Yes, tills is personal but it is tremendously important. Thousands 
of men and women throughout America are .preparing themselves for 
work in our state department. Of that number how many understand 
the worth of the individual? 

You who in a sense know the dignity ascribed to man by his 
creator and the price that was paid to reclaim that man — you can con- 
tribute indefinitely more to the advancement of the human race than 
those who know only the plans for world order that man himself has 
designed. This super-chaotic world condition calls for help from a 
higher source. Fellow Christian, you have the answer; "Ye are the 
light of the world!" Put that light where it can be useful! Remember 
that as a diplomat yon could have access to an international candlestick.

Marjorie Cole, who was born in 
Sunderland, England, November 
15, 1920. She lived there with her 
other brothers and sisters for four 
or five years when her family mov- 
ed to America via Canada and 
came to Portland. She has lived 
there ever since, attending kinder- 
garten, Kenton grade school, and 
Jefferson high. After graduation 
from high school, Marjorie worked 
as a secretary in an auditing and 
accountants office and at. Steel 
Tank and Pipe company. 

Answering usually to the name 
of Mickey or Marge, this petite 
little senior is majoring in Sociol-

be a child welfare worker. Mickey's 
main interests are music, art, ath- 
letics, sewing and anything .per- 
taining to social work. 

During her four years at P. C, 
Mickey has been president of the 
sophomore class, secretary of Kan-

Married GI Students May 
Get Boost in Allowances 

WASHINGTON, D. C— Married 
veterans attending school under 
the GI Bill can expect a probable 
large increase in their subsistence 
allowances, according to a predic- 
tion made to The American Legion 
here. 

But single ex-GI's were warned 
they will have to continue on their 
present allotments. 

The prediction- was made- by Rep. 
Alvin E. O'Konaki, Rpublican of 
Pennsylvania, third-ranking mem- 
ber of the House Veterans' Affairs 
committee. 

He said the consensus of the 
committee was that married stu- 
dents should be "increased sub- 
stantially" over their present $90 
a month allowance. But he added 
there was no corresponding senti- 
ment for boosting single veterans 
above $65 a month. 

He explained that most commit- 
tee members seemed in favor of a 
sliding scale of benefits which 
would increase in direct proportion 
to the student's responsibilities.

A native "Newbergite" except 
for the years spent in Wichita, 
Kansas; brown-eyed, likable is 
Claude Lewis. Born here in New- 
berg, May 13, 1923, Claude has 
progressed through the years and 
now stands as a mighty senior at 
P. C. Claude attended Newberg, 
Springbrook, and Gibbs grade 
schools, and Newberg high and 
North high in Wichita. He entered 
Pacific in the fall of 40, but then 
came World War XL and Claude 
was forced to leave P. C. for 
awhile. The two and one-half years 
he was absent from P. C. he spent 
in C. P. S. camps at Coleville, Cali- 
fornia and Carson City, Nevada. 

Claude's major is mathematics 
and he plans to attend Oregon 
State next year to study electrical 
engineering. High in his plans for 
the future is his marriage to 
blond Joyce Perisho this summer. 
Other of his main interests are me- 
chanics and athletics. 

Very active in campus life, 
Claude was student body presi- 
dent in '43, has been M. A. A. 
president, a member of the Y. M. 
C. A cabinet, was chief treasurer 
of the student body two years, in 
the student body play in '42, has 
been active in athletics, having 
played football, basketball, and 
baseb II; and a member of the A 
Cappella choir when a freshman, 
sophomore and senior. 

Son of our own Professor Lewis, 
Claude has three sisters. 



Advertise . . . 

Patronize 

Listen folks, we don't put an 
advertising section in the paper 
just to take up space, nor is it 
there just to mane money for 
printing the paper. Advertising is 
a two way business transaction, 
and it works! Last issue Earl 
Craven advertised his bicycle in 
the classified ad section. Ellis 
Cook, clear down in Sprague River, 
found a paper, read the ad, and 
bought-the.blke. So you see, it pays 
to advertise. 

Now for the other side of the 
business transaction — Patrontize 
our advertisers! They help us print 
the paper — we should help them 
make their living. 



There are now about 2,200 Amer- 
ican World War H vets attending

Relief Program 

Pacific college's "Confirmed 
Bachelors", active and exclusive 
men's organization of the institu- 
tion, have set March 31 as the date 
for a varied program of music and 
speaking in connection with raising 
money for the now famous "Heif- 
ers for Relief" organization. The 
big program will be staged in the 
Newberg high school auditorium 
during the evening. 

Started by the United Brethren 
church but now completely inter- 
denomination, the "Heifers for Re- 
lief" program has grown into one 
of the largest helps in attempting 
to replace the approximate nine 
out of ten cows which were killed 
during the war in Europe. 

The sponsor of the program, the 
CB's, was started in 1945 and is 
one of the most active clubs at the 
college, several trips and other ac- 
tivities being sponsored by then 
throughout the year. Under the di- 
rection of President Stan Williams, 
the program is slated to be the 
highlight of the year for the club, 
and much money, which is expect- 
ed to be turned over almost entire- 
ly to the "Heifers for Relief," is 
anticipated to be gained from the 
March 31 'program. 

The tentative pro-am slates 
such features as the Newberg high 
school band, trio, quartet from the 
college, dual piano numbers and 
several other acts. Head speaker 
will be a representative from the 
"Heifers for Relief" group in Port- 
land. Final judging of a whisk- 
erino contest will also take place 
during the evening. Admission to 
the program has been set at $1.00 
and 50 cents.

"Mighty Midgets" Stop Church 
Teams In Hoop Donbleheader 



The Mighty Midgets, Pacific col- 
lege's small-in-stature basketball 
squad, came forth with speed, 
backboard supremacy, and scoring 
ability in racking up two hoop 
wins Friday, March 14, in a double- 
header meeting which pulled the 
curtains on the institution's bas- 
ketball festivities for this year. 

Showing their usual speed, the 
"Midgets" ran up a 28-18 final 
count in trouncing the Friends 
church team from Everett, Wash- 
ington. The Art Roberts coached 
Everett team trailed 12-8 at the 
end of the sluggish and low-scoring 
first period. 

Pacing the winners in the scor- 
ing department was diminutive 
Don Wertz, flashy speedster who 
canned 12 points. Leading the 
Friends church team was Phelps 
with 10. 

Shortly after their first en- 
counter the FG'ers came back not 
noticably tired and whipped another 
church squad, this one from Taco- 
ma, by a final tally of 44-15 in a 
runaway contest. Leading 22-5 at 
the halfway mark, the small PC 
outfit was never headed through- 
out by the less-experienced Taco- 
ma five. 

It was Don Wertz and Clyde 
Faber in the scoring department, 
each making 12 points. Mel Veale

Pacific, has generously given of his 
time and effort and the past week 
has brought a tractor and disc 
in and has whipped the proposed 
layout into pretty good shape. Men 
students have also worked on the

Being Planned 

A plan to have a gigantic tennis

beginning to be definitely planned 
by several members of the Pacific 
college student body interested . in 
the net sport. Announcement of 
the tentative plan was made by 
Lloyd McClintick, tennis enthusiast 
and originator of the idea. 

McClintick said the plan called 
for doubles and singles touraments 
covering several days, depending 
on the response to the idea, and 
culminating with the playoff the 
morning of the Pacific May Day 
celebration. He urged anyone in- 
terested to reveal their interest 
and to help boost the plan to act- 
uality.

Philadelphia, March 23 — More 
ti'an 400 young people of high 
school and college age, of all races 
and religions, are expected to par- 
ticipate in work and study projects 
sponsored by the American Friends 
Service Committee (Quakers) in 
Mexico, Europe and all parts of the 
United States this summer, Clar- 
ence E. Pickett, executive secre- 
tary of the committee, announced 
today. 

In addition, Mr. Pickett said 
nearly 40 Institutes of Internation- 
al Relations, International Service 
Seminars and Peace Caravans will 
be sponsored in the United States 
by the committee to stimulate in- 
terest in achieving world peace. 
Thousands of students .teachers 
and other interested persons are 
expected to attend these confer- 
ences. 

Mr. Pickett pointed out that the 
people who participate in these 
service and educational projects do 
so voluntarily, and, for the most 
part, pay tehir own expenses. 

'•Their response" is based on a 
desire to serve the social, cultural 
and spiritual needs of people," Mr. 
Pickett said. "Our projects in the 
United States are designed to 
create understanding between 
groups within our country; for 
those outside this country it is hop- 
ed they will build bridges of under- 
standing and fellowship which will 
make the world secure ..." 

In this country, thirteen work 
camps will be sponsored in 10 dif- 
ferent states. Projects include 
building a two-room schoolhouse 
in Grainger county, Tennessee, to 
replace the one-room building the 
community has had heretofore; 
helping paint, plaster and improve 
the homes of low income families 
in Chicago and Media, Pennsyl- 
vania; screening houses and privies 
for Mexican families living in un- 
derpriviliged areas in San Antonio, 
Texas, and carrying on recreation- 
al programs in several locations. 

An Interne-in-Industry project 
will be continued in Philadelphia, 
through which students work in an 
industry, live cooperatively with 
other young people, and study ob- 
jectively the problems of labor and 
management. 

Nineteen Institutes of Interna- 
tional Relations, 12 for adults and 
seven for teen-agers, will make 
available well-known authorities in 
international questions and domes- 
tic affairs as faculty members for 
10-day conferences on present-day 
problems. 

Mr. Pickett said the Quaker 
committee has sponsored service 
and educational projects for young 



people for almost two decades. In 
previous years college credit has 
been given for work in some of 
these projects. For specific dates, 
fees, and any further description 
of projects write: American

PC Chorus 
Sings March 30 

A fifty voice chorus directed by 
Roy Clark will present the annual 
Lenten oratorio Sunday evening, 
March 30, at the local Friends 
church to usher in the activities 
of the Holy Week, or the period 
preceding Easter. This year the 
musicians have chosen, "The Holy 
City" by Alfred K. Gaul, for pre- 
sentation. 

Soloists, as announced by Mr. 
Clark, are, soprano, Eleanor Bur- 
ton; alto, Eleanor Swanson; tenor, 
Terrill Repp, and bass, Quincy 
Fodge. 

This well known work is one of 
the best-loved and most frequently 
given of all religious compositions. 
It was presented before in 
Newberg about four or five years 
ago when a community chorus un- 
der the leadership of a Mr. Miller 
performed it. The theme of the 
oratorio is not especially Lenten, 
the director explained, rather it 
follows the revealation message. 

"This is a community program," 
it has been emphasized. "Every- 
body is welcome".
